BEAN
Trailer
Overview
Alana and Lori, two young LGBT individuals in their twenties, were searching for love on Tinder when a fortunate right swipe connected them in an unexpected, lasting bond. Shortly after their meeting, Lori discovered that Alana had been living with Lupus and was on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. In New York, where Alana resides, organ donation rates are the lowest in the nation, making her chances of finding a suitable donor incredibly slim due to her complicated medical history. In a miraculous twist, Lori turned out to be a compatible donor and chose to undergo the procedure to offer Alana a second chance at life. If the transplant succeeds, Alana’s life expectancy will triple, freeing her from the confines of constant dialysis, but if it doesn’t, Lori faces the risk of unnecessary surgery and the loss of a healthy organ. BEAN unravels as a poignant exploration of the medical challenges, testing the boundaries of love and sacrifice for two intertwined families. BEAN (2017) is streaming here.
